God is totally and unalterably good. Satan is a created being who became evil by choosing to rebel against God. Key philosophical point here G. My CF by necessity includes those things that are what you would call Good and Evil. Therefore the CF that I describe is everything that you describe and adhere to PLUS those things you don't. It appears you don't like the ramifications of this classification system, namely, that the whole is the sum of its parts plus the relationships between the parts. Therein lies the unity. You can't have Good without Evil because Evil is only meaningful by its contrast with Good. The reverse is also true. If everything is Good, how would you know it? Clearly you couldn't. Here is a concrete example. If you are in a windowless room and I accelerate you forever at 1g, how would you know you aren't on Earth? The fact is that you can't. It is only by the context and relationships between objects in your frame of reference to those outside this frame that you can establish such meaning. God created "rebellion". He had to have. Satan could not have "chosen" rebellion if it did not exist, a priori. So if evil came from rebellion, it came from God, QED.
